What, if any, effect does modulation have on multiplexing/multiple access methods? Does multiplexing/multiple access choice also affect modulation choice? Effects of Modulation on Multiplexing/Multiple Access: Signal Quality and Interference : Different modulation schemes (e.g., QAM, PSK) have varying robustness against noise and interference. A more robust modulation can allow for more users in a multiplexing scheme without degrading the overall system performance. Bandwidth Efficiency : Some modulation methods are more bandwidth-efficient, which can enhance the effectiveness of multiplexing techniques like OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). Efficient modulation can maximize the number of channels or users within a given frequency band. Error Rates : The choice of modulation affects the error rates in a system. Multiplexing methods need to consider the error rates of the modulation used; for example, more complex modulations might require better channel con...
